From ransomware, to spyware and banking trojans, the types of malware threats are many. Yet the one threat that seems to be posing the greatest challenge to organizations and their cybersecurity solutions is the unknown malware. This is because the means that have most typically been used to counter cyber threats to date remain insufficient when it comes to unknowns: Signature-based: traditional antivirus solutions usually lean on such technique.

The key data is usually strings, or other byte sequences of code piece.
